Indiana Home Study

We handle all necessary state and federal background checks, ensuring a smooth and compliant process in line with Indiana’s adoption requirements.

At Tapestry Adoption, we understand that background checks are a critical component of the adoption process. These checks help ensure the safety and well-being of the child by confirming that all potential caregivers have undergone thorough screening. Here’s what you need to know about our approach to handling background checks:

Why Background Checks are Important

• Child Safety: The primary purpose of background checks is to ensure that children are placed in a safe and secure environment. This process helps identify any potential risks and confirms that the adopting family can provide a loving and stable home.
• Compliance with Regulations: All states, including Indiana, have specific legal requirements for adoption that mandate comprehensive background checks for all adults living in the household. These checks help ensure that families meet the necessary safety standards set by state and federal regulations.

What Our Background Check Process Involves

• State and Federal Checks: We facilitate all required background checks, including state criminal history checks and federal checks through the FBI. This dual-layer approach helps ensure a comprehensive assessment of each adult’s background.
• Review of Criminal History: The checks will review any prior criminal convictions, ensuring that the information is evaluated fairly and in the context of your overall family dynamic.
• Child Abuse and Neglect Registry: We also check the state’s child abuse and neglect registry to ensure that no adult in the household has a history of child abuse or neglect.
• Interviews and References: In addition to background checks, we may also conduct interviews with references provided by the adopting family. This helps us gain further insights into your family dynamics and support network.

Our Commitment to a Smooth Process

• Guidance and Support: Our team is here to guide you through the background check process. We will help you understand what to expect, answer any questions, and provide support at every stage.
• Confidentiality: We prioritize your privacy and confidentiality throughout the background check process. The information collected will be handled sensitively and only shared with authorized personnel involved in the adoption process.
• Timeliness: We strive to complete background checks as quickly as possible, allowing you to move forward with your adoption journey without unnecessary delays.
